   I'm not so sure thats the case.   
   Seems that most people are aware things are completely awry but don't know   
   what to do about it.   
   The default method I see everywhere is to vote out the offending parties   
   which is dubious at best.   
   Besides, all that does is present an opportunity for a new and even more   
   nefarious contender to stick it to the people.   
   If only there was a way that the citizenry could somehow extract offensive   
   politicians quickly and legally, singularly or in group......
